Al-Tuwaneh, West Bank- Last week, Israeli soldiers came and torn the sheds of the Palestinian family in this remote, hilly corner on the west coast, residents say. It was a recent example of destruction whose population is expelled.
Palestino enthusiastic in the Masafar Yatta area The documentary’s SC scar wins “no other land,” Which shows life in the balleged community, and hopefully it will help them a bit.
In Al-Tuvaneh, a village built by Masafar Yatta, Salem Ada said that his family was staying all night for the Oscar ceremony. They looked at his older brother, Basal Adra, as co-director of the film, came on stage to accept the award for the best documentary.
“It was such a surprise, such a joy,” he said.
“No other land” Basel follows adra as it risks arrest for documentation of Masafar Yatta’s destruction on the southern edge Israeli-Kekaji on the west coastHe joined his co-director, Israeli journalist and filmmaker, Youth Abraham.
It Combined Palestinian-Israeli Production Beginning at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024, the wire of international awards has won. Creating five years, he echoed more amid Israel’s devastating military campaign in Gaza, which forced the almost whole population on the west coast, causing the displacement of thousands of Palestinian tens.
At the same time, this film raises hackles in Israel, stains by bloody Oct Kato. 7, 2023 Attack Through Hamas who started the war.
Salem Ada, who helped his brother’s film for the film, said he hoped that the SC scar wins “open eyes of the world for what is happening here in Masafar Yetta.”
“It’s a victory for everyone living in Palestine and Masafar Yatta,” he said.
He said that since the film was first released, the threats and pressure against his family have increased. Their cars have been stoned by the settlers. A year ago, after the movie received the award at the Berlin International Film Festival, the military returned to the family’s house, and once detained his father, finding his phone and asked, “Why are you shooting?”
The Israeli army appointed Masafar Yatta as a live-fire training field in the 1980s and ordered residents, mostly, to expel Arab Baduin. Israel said Baduine did not have permanent designs in the area. Even though Families say they live And in the Midiest war of 1967, his sheep and goats were overwhelmed by his entire area before Israel seized the west.
After a 20 -year legal battle by residents, Israel’s Supreme Court upheld the order of Ka Order in 2022. About 1000 inhabitants have been in great place, but soldiers regularly move on to break homes, tents, water tanks and olive gardens-and Palestinians fear that it can be released at any time.
Salem Adra said the latest destruction came on Wednesday, when soldiers tear a family shade in a nearby Hamlet.
While staying in the ridge above Al-Tuvanah, Salem Adra said that Jewish settlers supported by military have set up 10 outposts around the village since 7 October, 2023.
Shepherd Rad Al-Hamdeh, 48, led his goat to rocky ground. He pointed to an outpost – the trailer flying tents and the flag of the Israeli military unit – the other side of a small valley. Farmers are no longer a tendency to be olive grove in the valley due to fear of being attacked.
Al-Hamdeh said that if they come close to the outpost, they use a military drone to operate the crowds. “The settlers attack. When we bunch of sheep, you can’t move as much as you can see. Only we can meet this issue, “he said. He pointed to the debris of the house that he said that the settlers had destroyed, the family had been out and the furniture was burned.
In Israel, the film attracted a little attention to the media after the release – and what his attention is, has become angry. When he won the documentary prize at the Berlin Festival, his Israeli director Abraham came under fire for the acceptance speech, calling on the end of the war in Gaza without mentioning the early attacks of Hamas and referring to the hostages held in Gaza.
In his SC scar acceptance speech, Abraham spoke of both. But he did a little bit to calm Israel’s criticism. Culture and Sports Minister Mickey Zohar described the win as a “sad moment for the cinema world”. He said that the film distorted reality and helps to promote the documentary using Israel’s “defamation” on its creators.
Generally, Israeli films that are nominated for prestigious international prizes receive proud appreciation in Israel.
But after the Hamas attack, “everyone is in mourning or in shock, we can hardly hear any other voice on any other topic,” Rai Morag, a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said last week.
On Monday, he said it was not yet clear whether the win brought more attention to the documentary in Israel. But, he said, “It would not be possible to ignore the message of two directors, including people who have not seen the film.”
In his acceptance speech on Sunday night, Basal Ada called on the world to “prevent injustice and prevent the Palestinian people’s ethnic cleaning.”
He said that he hoped that his newborn daughter “will not have to live the same life I am living now … always experiences colonial violence, demolition of the house and powerful displacement.”
On Monday, his brother Salem went down from the ridge at a family’s house with his 4 -year -old son.
He examined the CCTV camera set up around the house to see the settlers. They were still shooting.
